Overview
Smith got one of the two highest bonuses among pitchers in the Pirates’ 2025 international signing class. He has very good athleticism; his mother was an Olympic swimmer. Smith throws four pitches, including a fastball that regularly reaches 93 mph and has gotten as high as 95. With his size and frame, he has the potential to add velocity. The Pirates see him long-term as a starter.
